Replace Generic Book Plates

You can change the text on the 7 Gypsies Metal Plates by making a text box of the title you want in WORD. Cut out the box and glue it onto the back of the metal plate using Zip Dry Paper Glue. Zip Dry doesn't wrinkle the paper, has a strong hold and is acid-free. Roll the paper with a brayer to get a strong bond. When dry, place the paper, metal side up and carefully trim around the edges with a craft knife. Sand the paper edges that aren't smooth. To make the paper edges black, run a black Sharpe pen over them. Spray with clear acrylic spray or a thin coat of ModPodge and clear spray. Attach with larger decorative brads. The 7 Gypsies Metal Plates come with three tabs and black brads; use these on future layouts.

If you will be using the albums for perpetual albums be sure to purchase enough nameplates for future albums.
